During the summer, Andrea and I decided to book a Paddywagon tour around the Wild Atlantic Coast. The tour would take the whole day and would bring us around the different views of the amazing west coast of Ireland close to Galway. I never expected it to be this beautiful, the tour started simply at the mini cliffs, via an abondend castle we went to the Cliffs of Moher. The view is just amazing. We had plenty of time to…
Just across Dublin, lies Liverpool. The city known for the Beatles, strange designs and british modern architecture. Just 30 minutes flying from Dublin we arrived at the John Lennon Airport. From there there are plenty of busses that will take you to the city (an hour drive). Liverpool can best be desribed as a very modern city, with plenty to do. They are known for the birthplace of the Beatles and thus even have their own Beatles museum. (Located on…
During my birthday, I decided to visit a themepark in Germany, used to be known as Warner Bros Movie park, but recently changed their name to Movie Park Germany. Located close to the Dutch/German Border is a pretty large theme park, they recently opened a new Star Trek themed rollercoaster. It was not really busy and the waiting lines were not too long, the food itself is pretty expensive (what did you expect from a themepark). But the rides are…
If you live in Dublin, sometimes you just want to get out of the big city. 30 minutes by Dart train to the north lies the small coastal town of Howth. A really beautiful place that is actually a small fishing village (Now part of Dublin). Howth offers nice fishing shops, excellent views of the Irish Sea and even has amazing walk close to the cliffs. Getting to Howth is quite easy, just take the train from Connely station and…
In the summer, Andrea and I decided to visit Galway, Ireland. Galway is a small coastal city located on the west coast of Ireland, near the Cliffs of Moher. We decided to have an overnight stay and we booked a tour around Connemara, connemara is a great national park, where you can see the true Irish plains with amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean. A must visit if you are in the neighborhood. The tour around Connemara is absolutely amazing…

The Guinness Storehouse is on of the most amazing places in Dublin, here you will learn about the history of the most famous beer from Ireland,…
Cork is a small city in the south of Ireland, some say it’s true Ireland, however I disagree with that. Cork is really famous for it’s English market. The British Queen has visited this market a few times in the past and apparently she loves it. We took the train from Dublin Houston to Cork Kent station, the train ride took around 3 hours but was otherwise very pleasant. There is a bar in the train and free wifi, so…
In late April 2017, Andrea and I decided to explore Ireland a bit, not far from Dublin, there is a coastal town called Bray. It’s very easy to reach by the Dart train from the city center of Dublin. In around 25 minutes you will find yourself at the beach of Bray. Bray is a really beautiful town, it has a small mountain with a very nice view and on a good day you can follow the path next to…
